Muslim girl getting married to a Christian man
Question
I just found out my daughter is pregnant by a Christian guy. I am devastated as we were not aware she was involved with someone. My family is forcing that I should let them get married but I am not keen on this.
What can I do to prevent the marriage? Will it be wrong of me to not let them get married?
Answer
In Islam, it is not permissible for a Muslim girl to get married to a Christian man. If they get married, the nikaah will not be valid and they will perpetually be living in zina. Therefore, you should stop your daughter from continuing this haraam relationship.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
